These pictures are taken in Hai-Bar National Biblical Wild Life Reserve north of Eilat. We were there on the 18th of february. Drove by car a marked route and saw different wild animals: donkies, turkies and some birds. Afterwards we looked at locked up animals in pens: bobcat, leopard, hyena etc. We have had a good oportunity to try out our new digital reflex camera. It's very fun.

Today the warm weather came here, and at last I have taken a long time wished swimming tour at Coral Beach. A big blue fisk came swimming around my feet immediately when I put my feet into the water. Wonderful! Over 20 degrees in the water.

Jeg har hatt to forsøk på alvorlig virusangrep i kommentarboksen. Derfor har jeg lagt inn kommentarbegrensning!There has been a couple of serious virus attacs on my blog. Therefore I've put in commentary limitation!Ellers takk for alle besøk på bloggen i det siste! Morsomt å se at antall land øker, og antall besøkende!Thank you for all visits on my blogg lately! It's encouraging to see that the number om countries are increasing, and also the number of visitors.

(I have forgotten to bring my English dictionary, so have mercy with my English during this vacation!)

Now we have been in Israel for about one week, in Eilat since sunday. Unfortunately we got a heavy cold by our entrance to Isralel, and we have had to cool it - more than usually. But we have still reached over quite a lot. This evening we joined a meeting at Shelter, a Christian Fellowship run by dutch/american people, they also help drugs addicted people and new immigrants. It was really a colorful fellowship. I have videofilmed the whole meeting, lasting about an hour, and will try to publish some of it. Now my payment runs out.

This is from central Netanya, in Herzl Street near the ocean. Netanya is a nice city, where many jews are living, and is a great city for tourism. We stayed for three days this time. On the Sabbath we joined the sermon in the Messianic Congregation Beit Asaph. It was nice to be together with Jesua believing jews.

Vi bare måtte se dem før vi ble borte i 6 uker i Israel. Og de tok utfordringen og kom til oss i helgen (fra Vestfold). Mina hadde bestilt sjokoladekake, for hun skulle egentlig vært i bursdag. Så det ble en aktiv helg, med puslespill, lego (jeg har tatt vare på en hel plastkasse med lego fra våre barn), tur på lekeplassen med kakao og niste, en titt innom lekestua for å hente dukkevogn og dukke til å ha med på turen, og ta ut en liten tohjulssykkel som Sindre måtte prøve. Det ble god trim for mormor. Og Even minstemann koste seg veldig når han fikk fri adgang til kjøkkenskapet og en skuff med bakeredskaper. Onkel Benjamin var en tålmodig puslepartner. Vi må jo riktig ta det helt ut når det er så sjelden vi ser dem. Og nå skal det bli godt med ferie!! Ha det så lenge!We simply had to see them before we went away for 6 weeks in Israel. And they accepted the challenge and came for the week-end (from Vestfold). Mina had asked for chocolate cake, she had been invited for a birthday-party back home on saturday. So we spent a very active weekend, with puzzle, Lego (I have taken care of a plastic boxwith Lego from my own children), a walk to the playground with cocoa and packed lunch, a trip to the little playhouse in our garden to get the doll's pram for the trip, and take out a small twowheels bicykle which Sindre had to try out. It was good exercise for grandmother. And Even, the youngest lad, had a very good time when he was given free access to the kitchen cupboard and a drawer with baking tools. Uncle Benjamin was a patient puzzle partner.We just have to get the most out of it, when we see them so seldom.And now we look forward to our vacation!! So long!
